Romanian Affiliate Regulations (ONJN)

Published: August 1, 2026Updated: August 31, 2026

The ONJN Class 2 License is a specialized business-to-business (B2B) license mandatory for any company providing ancillary services or critical operational infrastructure to business-to-consumer (B2C) gambling operators in Romania. Unlike jurisdictions where marketing affiliates operate freely or through simple registration, Romania legally categorizes under-the-law marketing affiliates as B2B service providers if their compensation models are tied directly to player traffic, participation, or revenue generation (such as CPA, Revenue Share, or hybrid deals). The license permits the holder to contract legally with B2C operators and supply software, content, or promotional traffic.
